theres a part of me thats very dark, that sees the appeal, and thinks this would make such a great drama, maybe a horror film, maybe a sentimental emotional thing, maybe a philosophical statement-- you could go with ether stupid vapid reasons, or with deeper meaningful reasons. Ironically being Serious like the Dark Knight Trilogy would encourage people to think like Batman, but being very stupid, senseless, meaningless, for all the immature reasons would encourage people to think like Joker. Theres another part of me that wants to remember that the person is question is a real person, and wants to say all the normal, socially acceptable ways to disapprove of burning oneself to death, mixed with the impassioned pleas of how good life is. the reality is more complicated still than either of those two: Life and Death both have meaning and can be Beautiful, and can be Horrible, so being against Suicide JUST because Life is INHERENTLY great doesnt make sense--- Life and Death can both be great, and trying to choose which would be a better use of your time is actually a more difficult question than figuring whether theres a God or not, because you can get impersonal to help clear your mind when you debate about God, because hes not you. You cant be as impersonal about suicide, because youll automatically think about making the choice for yourself, because you wont know nearly enough about the other person to think about what choice they should make. But-- probably-- if you want to Die, the best way to commit Suicide is to find some war somewhere, and sign up with the side most likely to lose, and go die while in service to protecting other life. Then you get to Die, and more, people who arent ready to Die get to Live. Since this one is choosing Burning, the Fear of Pain should not be a barrier to gong to War.
